Omg rjamz those dresses are adorable!!

I'm sitting in the car with the baby while my H runs in the grocery store. He had 6 things on the list. He has already called me twice lol

How are you both doing?

Good! Tired as expected. She lost 10% of her birth weight so the pedi was concerned but then she gained 4 oz in 1 day so that was a relief

[jnoellee]

I heard back!!

Alright it looks like I'm moving on to the next step. Taking to the VP of the company either Thursday or Friday.

Ahhhhh. If I have SIX damn interviews and don't get this job I may never apply anywhere again lol.

rjamz so cute!!!! Do you have a name for your new shop yet?

Elizabeth's Closet

Trudy's closet because I'm going to want everything

[jnoellee]

I mean, I really hope I'm the only one who is having a 6th interview.

You'd think I'd feel like I have it in the bag! I keep wondering, thinking that maybe they are interviewing a bunch of others as much as me. I guess we'll see.

I'm having a harder time with A turning 5 than any other age. It just seems so kid, I'm sure it's also part her going to kindergarten in just a few months too. That and her baby brother isn't a baby anymore

Me too! I know that for me, it was all about kindergarten. I've taught kinder my entire career and my kids are "big kids." Knowing that my baby is going to be a big kid in kindergarten is so hard for me!

rjamz, I love the super hero print. It's very Rosie Revere Engineer and I love that book as much as my girls do :-)

Me too. She seems so BIG now. Her vocabulary, her mannerisms. I have a big kid now.

I thought this exact same thing! We love these books
She needs to write more
Iffy peck is our favorite

For everyone who really liked the dress - would you pay $42 for it? The fabric is custom printed and isn't cheap - around $26 a yard and it's about 3/4 yard for elizabeth size and a little over a yard for TrudyCampbell's girls, and I'm trying to figure out what to charge. Both the dino and superhero fabrics. And most of the other stuff I have. I've been trying to find prints I think girls would love but aren't really available in the major retail stores.

rjamz, I'm cheap and will not spend more than $25 - $30 on a dress for her unless it is a special occasion.

That's my worry. I have some with non custom fabric I could price like that, but at $26 a yard, it's not worth my time to charge less than $36 at least
ETA: $36 was going to be my opening weekend and then "friend price"

If I was in love something i might spend $35/6 but I don't think I would spend over 40 on one item.

Ok that's good to know!

I also see custom clothes listed on etsy for a lot of $$$ so I feel like people who are shopping on there are expecting to pay more?

Crosby is 2m! Well 2 days ago but we had dr appt today

21.75in - 4%
9 lb 8.5oz - 2%
15.5in head
So proportionally small





Sully also had his 20m checkup today too (20m tomorrow)
Stats if anyone cares

21.25in - 4%
23 pounds - 34%
19.25 head

rjamz , I'm cheap and will not spend more than $25 - $30 on a dress for her unless it is a special occasion.

This was my thought also. A $30 price tag is easy to buy, but I would have to be totally obsessed with a print to consider spending $45.

I get that. I'm hoping Dinos and supergirls are special enough for people to want to spend the money.

Would you find it weird if some dresses were $30 and some were $40 and I explained the custom print thing?

I've heard some people who sell things they sew say they double the price of the fabric/material for the sell price.  So I think the price is very reasonable for the price of the fabric.  I think it's fine to have different prices based on the type of fabric you use.  There is a wide range of prices and qualities of fabric and most people shopping home made pieces on etsy expect to pay more for a unique item.

I don't think that is weird at all. If there was a special pug print that was $40, I'm sure I would hop on it. You never know which prints are going to make people go nuts!
